Why would anyone be upset by this? It's obviously just joking around.

The insecurity in this thread is what's funny. This is the kind of news that we see all the time at the end of newspapers, sometimes it's horrible, yet we often laugh about this stuff.

Rape, however, is not something that happens once every century, it's something that's a real problem in pretty much every country, and all but accepted in some countries. Sexism is still an obvious problem everywhere, men dominate every important and rewarding job; in finance I can tell you it's a pure sausage fest and most of my bosses wouldn't even think about hiring a woman.

My point is, there's a reason why people are fighting against machism in our society. But this perceived sexism against men is something that doesn't really exist, no one should care about this stuff.

I really wish a popular, male talk show host would pick a random, actual rape of a female and sit around with a bunch of men and an all male audience and have them joke and snigger about how funny it is that she got raped.

But there's no need for it to happen because everyone already knows what the reaction would be. These double standards sicken me.

I don't know why the idea that there can be sexism against men is such an offensive notion to you when it apparently exists.
I agree with pretty much all you said & it's horrible. It's people doing those horrible acts, not men. If you're going to start generalizing about men all being rapists then we can all start generalizing about how women would love to cut a mans dick off since it was so funny for all the women on that tv-show no? and it'd get us nowhere.

My fundamental point being we're all people and we're all different. I'm a man and I'm not a rapist and for you to say you have to fight men (or machism) because some men rape then that's silly.. You fight those people who do that or their view that it's accepted.

My own 2c on why they'd laugh is women have been having it worse than men for a good while (like you pointed out yourself with your own opinion) and now they laugh when men gets the rough end of a stick. gloating I'd say.

I know, its so unfair that men occupy the top jobs.

Its just like my portfolio. I noticed that I only had a 8% return last year, after investing all my wealth in a 12 month term deposit, with my AAA rated bank. Its so unfair that there were people who made 50% returns for investing in small-cap stocks. Why should they have higher returns? Its so unfair. This discrimination must be stopped.

So are you saying that rape is bad because it happens often, unlike this issue? Well, that does not make sense, because the frequency of a crime has totally nothing to do with it's severity. Even if rape happened one in a blue moon, it would still be as severe. Consequentially, this issue must also be viewed likewise.
